In this post from a few years ago, you asked about not paying a Credit Card debt at all, and you were appalled that "with the level of white collar crime in this country" someone who didn't pay their debts who had a judgement against them would have it in the public domain.
It seems that your problem is with a Bank of Scotland/Halifax credit card.
Very unlikely that interest charges would bring it from €5k to €20k unless you paid nothing at all over a very long period. Even late payment charges would be unlikely to bring it up to that.
However, if they had to take legal action against you for recovery, they would certainly have added significantly to the cost.
